Leviticus 8:17-27 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

17. He burned up the bull with its hide, flesh, and dung outside the camp, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

18. Then he presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

19. Moses slaughtered it and sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

20. Moses cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the suet,

21. but he washed the entrails and shanks with water. He then burned the entire ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the Lord as He had commanded Moses.

22. Next he presented the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

23. Moses slaughtered it, took some of its blood, and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

24. Moses also presented Aaron’s sons and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then Moses sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

25. He took the fat — the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat — as well as the right thigh.

26. From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat portions and the right thigh.

27. He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and waved them before the Lord as a presentation offering.
